Cacela Island is a sandy barrier island at the mouth of the Ria Formosa in the Algarve region of mainland Portugal. It was part of a peninsula up to the autumn of 2010, when as a result of storm action, the sea cut the peninsula and turned its westernmost part into an island.[1]

Access to the island's beach is made either by wading or boat.[2] The island's beach is known as Praia da Fábrica, or "Factory Site Beach".[2]
